Roy Keane recently named Crystal Palace star player Jesurun Rak-Sakyi as someone Oliver Glasner wouldn’t play, and it seems Keane might be right. Rak-Sakyi hasn’t featured in any of Glasner’s games so far this season, with the manager opting for other players like Ismaila Sarr, Yeremy Pino, Romain Esse, and Daichi Kamada in the attacking midfield roles.
*Rak-Sakyi’s Situation*
Rak-Sakyi’s lack of playing time has raised questions about his future at Crystal Palace. Despite being a talented player who came through the academy, Rak-Sakyi has struggled to make an impact under Glasner. The manager’s decision to exclude him from the squad has sparked debate among fans, with some wondering if Rak-Sakyi will ever get the chance to prove himself.¹
*Glasner’s Tactical Decisions*
Glasner’s tactical decisions have been under scrutiny, with some questioning his choice of players and formations. Danny Murphy, a former Liverpool player, suggested that Glasner is using £25m signing Eddie Nketiah all wrong, playing him as a right-winger instead of up front where he is most effective. This has led to speculation about Glasner’s management style and whether he will be able to turn the team’s season around.²
*Crystal Palace’s Performance*
Despite a strong start to the season, Crystal Palace has struggled recently, with Glasner’s tactics coming under fire. The team’s inability to win away from home has been a major concern, and fans are growing increasingly frustrated. Glasner’s response to criticism has been to emphasize the importance of patience and trust in his players, but it’s unclear whether this approach will pay off.³
*Glasner’s Future*
There have been rumors about Glasner’s future at Crystal Palace, with some speculating that he might quit at the end of the season. However, Glasner has denied these claims, stating that he is committed to the club and is focused on achieving success with the team. Despite the challenges, Glasner remains confident in his players and his ability to turn the season around.⁴
